Chanhassen marks tornado anniversary, plans road work ahead
The Chanhassen City Council held a brief check-in meeting on May 8 to update residents on several upcoming projects and safety reminders, including road construction that will affect traffic around the city and temporary closures at the recreation center.
The meeting opened with a reflection on a significant moment in Chanhassen's history: the 60th anniversary of a powerful tornado that touched down near Lake Susan and traveled for 7 miles through the area. The city noted that despite the storm's severity, no lives were lost in Chanhassen.
Looking ahead, Carver County announced plans for a major road construction project affecting Highway 212 and Highway 5. The county will host a virtual open house on May 14 to discuss the project and its expected impacts, including traffic shifts and delays around Chanhassen. Residents interested in learning more about the construction timeline and traffic management are encouraged to attend.
On the recreational front, the city announced that pickleball courts at the recreation center will close from May 27 to June 6 for upgrades. During this period, players can use the courts at Roundhouse Park as an alternative.
The council also reminded residents about e-bike safety and regulations. Class 3 e-bikes require operators to be at least 15 years old, and riders under 18 must wear helmets. All e-bike users must follow local speed limits and traffic laws.
